Texas Oil, American Dreams: A Study of the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association

By Lawrence Goodwyn

In this intricately interpretive narrative, Lawerence Goodwyn explores the notion of the American Dream through the eyes of the Texas wildcatter. Surprisingly, even before the outlines of the wildcatter come into focus, other vague but seemingly omnipotent actors occupy center stage: major oil companies. Goodwyn shows the relationship of individual and corporate enterprise in this study of the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association.
